Renowned French pianist Cédric Tiberghien joins the San Francisco Symphony to play Ravel and Strauss
Two orchestral innovators tackle the complexities of the human condition: Richard Strauss’s passionate and provocative symphonic poems plumb the psychological depths of his literary sources. Maurice Ravel wrote his dark and intense Piano Concerto for the Left Hand because the Austrian pianist who commissioned it lost his right arm in World War I. The warped and tender waltzes of La Valse are the Frenchman’s response to the dream of Viennese refinement in a murderous age.
Cédric Tiberghien, a French pianist, has built an international career acclaimed for his versatility, diverse repertoire, and dynamic chamber music collaborations. Recent performances and recordings showcase his exploration of new musical avenues, including engagements with renowned orchestras and partners such as Alina Ibragimova and the Chiaroscuro Quartet.
Dates: April 18 matinée at 2pm, 19, & 20 at 7:30pm
